https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ManPagesRuRetirement This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee. == Summary == Retiring man-pages-ru because it is already part of the man-pages-l10n. == Owner == * Name: [[User:ljavorsk| Lukas Javorsky]] * Email: ljavorsk@xxxxxxxxxx == Detailed Description == Upstream (man-pages-l10n) has integrated Russian translations for man-pages. It means we no longer need to have a specific (man-pages-ru) package for it. [https://salsa.debian.org/manpages-l10n-team/manpages-l10n/-/commit/37b44f5a8ad3999501c79a20b67a27e17cc65630 Upstream commit containing the change] The plan is simple: 1) Deprecate man-pages-ru package 2) Enable 'ru' translations for man-pages-l10n (temporary disabled due to conflicts). [https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/man-pages-l10n/c/00a88c237e1fd7cdef9c52665128b155cf14243c?branch=rawhide Commit disabling it] Also add Obsolete and Provides for man-pages-ru package. == Feedback == Early feedback from the community is positive, the feedback is located in this ([https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thread/WGLMJ7XXB5JUER57GEOZQBFMNKHD5FSZ/ Devel list announce]) == Benefit to Fedora == Fedora shouldn't maintain a redundant package. This change would make it easier for the maintainer as well as for the packages that requires man-pages-l10n and man-pages-ru. == Scope == * Proposal owners: Package man-pages-ru will be retired, and the man-pages-l10n will contain the Russian translations. * Other developers: Change the names of their BuildRequires/Requires accordingly. * Release engineering: No action required * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Alignment with Objectives: == Upgrade/compatibility impact == When following the plan in Detailed Description there will be no need for manual action. Everything will be handled by the automated dnf upgrade. == How To Test == == User Experience == == Dependencies == List of the packages from Fedora 39 === man-pages-ru === dnf repoquery --whatrequires man-pages-ru | pkgname <empty> dnf repoquery --whatrequires '/usr/share/man/ru/*' | pkgname <empty> == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: Remove the man-pages-l10n build with Russian translation enabled. Revert deprecation of the man-pages-ru package. * Contingency deadline: Beta freeze * Blocks release? No ''NOTE: If we don't finish this change by the deadline, it is possible to just complete this change with the next release.'' == Documentation == [https://salsa.debian.org/manpages-l10n-team/manpages-l10n/-/commit/37b44f5a8ad3999501c79a20b67a27e17cc65630 Upstream issue] [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2163421 Bugzilla tracker] [https://sourceforge.net/p/man-pages-ru/discussion/1102373/thread/7dda92a232/ man-pages-l10n upstream discussion with man-pages-ru upstream about this] == Release Notes == -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Fedora Program Manager Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
